TWkNTY YEARS AGO.
A Great Change Has / cen
Wrought Since Then.

a HERALD reporter ran across a
curiosity, yesterday, which will be of
interest to many residents just now,
from the fact that in the days when the
following circular was issued the
tradesmen and artisans of "Great" Salt
Lake City were well employed aud re-
munerated. A comparison of the
prices paid for painting then with what
is charged at present will create numer-
oas reflections. The subioined circular
is the property of the" painter, w. G..
Morris, who has had it framed. He
prizes it very highly as a momento OF
the good old times when good work
was well paid for:

Proper Care of Closets,

Closets are not only useful but neces-
sary part of a house. Many housekeepers
think that there cannot be too much closet
room provided. There are many things
which are properly put into closets, and
other things which should never go into
closets. Of such are all soiled undergar-
ments. Clothing that has been worn
should not be hung away until properly
ventilated. In this way two fertile sources
of bad odors in closets may be excluded.
Many hang their night clothes in the
closet during the day. This also should
be avoided unless they have had thorough
airing before being hung. If the closet
does not admit OF window, the door
should be left open for few hours every
day to admit pure air. Some persons
have ventilators placed just over the door,
but the outside air, if admitted for short
time every day, will purity a closet where
only clean clothes are hung. No matter
how clean the clothing in the closet may
be, if there is no ventilation, the clothing
will not be what it should.

A Trees Appeal, With Local Application

In the town of Medford, Mass, there
stands in the carriage way OF the high
street great elm, very old, but perfectly
thrifty, and one Of the most beautiful
specimens of its kind. Not long ago the
selectmen of that town had reached the
conclusion that, owing to the supposed
danger to passing teams, it would be best
to have the old tree cut down.
The news that the tree was to be sacri-
feed spread about the village, and some
of the people. who had a genuine and very
natural affection for the old landmark, be
gan to agitate against its destruction. No
great amount of feeling was aroused how
ever, until one morning, the people found
a sign tackled upon the trunk of the tree,
which bore these words in rather rude let.
tiers What Cut me down Pr This SIM
pie appeal, which seemed to come from
the tree itself, was so touching, and told
so pathetic a story, that the people became
very much interested, and raised so many
protests against the destruction of the tree,
that the selectmen changed their minds.
1t still stands and thrives.
There are fourteen trees on South street
with quivering leaves mutely appealing
against destruction. What Cut them

A story of the rising generation;
In one OF the suburban towns there is

of the neighborhood. and in preparing tor

an idea Of the sort OF young people her
daughter would like to have attend, told
her to prepare a list of those she wished
to invite. Tommy went to work with
great zest, and in short time finished a
pretty long list.

of conclusiveness, "there's every single
one that want TO come"
Her mother took the document and read
it over with an establishment which in
creased as her eye approached the end oil
the list. Tommy had only one girls name
on the whole list!
"Why, Tommy" the mother exclaimed,
''do you want none but boys to come to

snow white surface in black letters the
legend, Boy wanted" In answer to this

"Well," said the proprietor, looking the
little ragamufiin over from head to foot,
''you know, we don't pay much here, and
besides that, if you come to work in nice

"Oh, yes, know that" responded the
gamin, ''but how much do yer pay p

proprietor.
"Oh, | couldn't think of workin' fol

think you could. but when first went to

The arab sized the speaker up from
head to foot. and then giving his head a
toss and edging toward the door, he said

Own WOUNDED FOOT.

The children of James wainwright, at
No. s0S Taylor street, have little chip,
munk for pet Not long ago the animal
injured one of its fore feet by becoming
entangled in strand OF thread. The in
fammation of the foot attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. wainwright. who found that the
thread was wound around the member:
He cut the thread off, but the wound did
not heal, and in few days the flesh
dropped off and left the bones exposed:
The little animal went to work then and
did a most remarkable thing. He bit OH
or amputated the foot at what would cor
respond TO the wrist joint: In the course
of a few days the bone still remained un-
covered because no provision had been
made for flap of the flesh to cover it.
The chipmunk then displayed wonder v, der
full knowledge of surgery. With his nose
he turned back the flesh and bit OF a piece
OF the bone above the end of the flesh so
that it projected beyond the bone. In two
weeks it had healed up and looks as per-
feet as if surgeon had done the work

Fruit for Children.

Ripe fruit is always an acceptable addi-
ton to a child's lunch, apples, pears,
peaches or grapes being most suitable.
Bananas are oftentimes indigestible, and
oranges cannot always be tidily eaten by
the younger children without little as
sistance in preparing them. And let no
mother be dismayed at peach stains on
the children's white aprons and handker-
chiefs Throw all suspected articles into
cold water for good soaking, then wash
them out with soap before allowing warm
water to touch them, and they will not
show the disheartening brown stains which
are apt to indeibly mark the peach season.
Try the same remedy for sweet apple and
grass stains. Berry stains disappear I'M

The Woman's Journal says that hum
dreds OF women are annually burned to
death by their clothes taking

necessity of radical change in the style
